Cordelia Lyrics

Oh Cordelia, leave this boy alone
Oh Cordelia, he's not the one you've known
Oh Cordelia, so unhappy on your throne
of sticks and glue

Oh Cordelia, give this boy a rest
He's not asking, he's begging you for it
Oh Cordelia, don't be shocked it he splits
into two - and quits on you

A girl like you should act her age
and learn to turn the other page

Oh Cordelia, what lingers in your air?
Clouds dark and heavy, you're so eager to share
Blackbirds in your meadow but the scarecrow isn't there
tonight

Oh Cordelia, don't you touch that phone
He'd rather listen to a gentle dial tone
Than the painful words you throw at him like stones
out of spite - oh can't you play nice

A girl like you should act her age
and learn to turn the other page
